Toward understanding the conditions that promote higher attention in software developments -- a first step on music and standups
This paper addresses the problem of improving software development quality and speed by enhancing programmers' working conditions, which is relevant for software companies and developers.
This paper proposes a vision for exploring factors that affect software developers' concentration and attention, specifically focusing on brain activity and extractable features. The authors aim to understand conditions that promote higher attention in software development.
Nowadays, Computer Science tightly entered all spheres of human activity. To improve quality and speed of development process, it is important to help programmers improve their working conditions. This paper proposes a vision on exploring this issue and presents in conjunction a factor that has been claimed multiple time to affect the effectiveness of software production, concentration and attention of software developers. We choose to focus on developers brain activity and features that can be extracted from it.
